Sennheiser PC37X randomly goes bad after disconnecting the cable ?
Greetings, Yesterday I was using my headset like normal with my macbook, just listening to music and on a call with people like usual, and the headset was perfectly fine. The stock wire that came with the headset is extremely long and yesterday it annoyed me very much that it kept getting tangled with itself, so I decided to see if the cable is replaceable. I pulled out the cable from the headset and saw the adapter, and looked online for a replacement. Upon plugging it back in, the audio sounded extremely muffled and washed out. Im not sure what I did wrong to make it mess up like that as I've always taken good care of it, ive had it for about 2 years and its always just been chilling on my desk, but anywho I thought the cable just went bad and ordered a replacement. The replacement came, and the issue is still persistant, so I am not sure what the issue is I've tried multiple different headsets and the issue is not with the port, and I also tried it with my windows laptop and...

Comparing to X2. For built quality, no doubt , metal X2 is better than plastic K7xx. Though I feel K7xx is lighter and a little more comfortable. For driving efficiency, X2 is the winner. K7xx needs strong amp. None of my portable devices can drive K7xx well including AK JR, Beyerdynamic A200p and Fiio X3. All of my portable devices makes K7xx sound even thinner while X2 can sounds good on my iPhone and Note 3. Sound wise, for my taste , X2 is an excited headphone which offers better bass definition, solid vocal image and more details with dynamics than K7xx. K7xx does have it’s own character. Thinner sound, wider stage and very smooth easy listening. K7xx has clear clean separation of all instruments but has a little less details and dynamic even driven by my m9xx, darkvoice 336 and Denon 2308i.
So I would say X2 is a better $200 headphones because even with portable devices, X2 can provide musical and exited sound with more details than K7xx.But if you already have good amps and have extra money for experiencing different sound character, K7xx does provide wider soundstage and smoother listening sound than X2.
